right, but not ethically. (150 words) 10

Some recent developments such as introduction of RTI Act, media and judicial activism, etc., are

proving helpful in bringing about greater transparency and accountability in the functioning of

the government. However, it is also being observed that at times the mechanisms are misused.

Another negative effect is that the officers are now afraid to take prompt decisions.

Analyze this situation in detail and suggest how this dichotomy can be resolved. Suggest how

these negative impacts can be minimized. (150 words) 10

At the international level, the bilateral relations between most nations are governed on the policy of

A private company is known for its efficiency, transparency and employee welfare. The company

though owned by a private individual has a cooperative character where employees feel a sense of

ownership. The company employs nearly 700 personnel and they have voluntarily decided not to form a

union.

One day suddenly in the morning, about 40 men belonging to a political party gatecrashed into the

factory demanding jobs in the factory. They threatened the management and employees, and also used

foul language. The employees feel demoralized. It was clear that those people who gate-crashed wanted

to be on the payroll of the company as well as continue as the volunteers/members of the party. The

company maintains high standards in integrity and does not extend favours to civil administration that

also includes law enforcement agency. Such incidents occur in public sector also.

(a) Assume you are the CEO of the company. What would you do to diffuse the volatile situation on

the date of gate-crashing with the violent mob sitting inside the company premises?

(b) What could be the long-term solution to the issue discussed in the case?

(c) Every solution/action that you suggest will have a positive and a negative impact on you (as

CEO), the employees and the performance of the employees. Analyze the consequences of each of your

suggested actions. (250 words) 20

You are the Sarpanch of a Panchayat. There is a primary school run by the government in your area.

Midday meals are provided to the children attending the school. The Headmaster has now appointed a

new cook in the school to prepare the meals. However, when it is found that the cook is from Dalit

community, almost half of the children belonging to higher castes are not allowed to take meals by their

parents. Consequently the attendance in the school falls sharply. This could result in the possibility of

discontinuation of midday meal scheme, thereafter of teaching staff and subsequent closing down the

school.

(b) What should be the responsibilities of different social segments and agencies to create positive

social ambience for accepting such changes? (250 words) 20

One of the scientists working in the R & D laboratory of a major pharmaceutical company discovers that

one of the company’s best selling veterinary drugs, B has the potential to cure a currently incurable liver

disease that is prevalent in tribal areas. However, developing a variant of the drug suitable for human

beings entailed a lot of research and development having a huge expenditure to the extent of 50 crores

rupees. It was unlikely that the company would recover the costs as the disease was rampant only in

poverty-stricken area having very little market otherwise.

There is a disaster-prone State having frequent landslides, forest fires, cloudbursts, flash floods and

earthquakes, etc. Some of these are seasonal and often unpredictable. The magnitude of the disaster is

always unanticipated. During one of the seasons, a cloudburst caused devastating floods and landslides

leading to high casualties. There was major damage to infrastructure like roads, bridges and power

generating units. This led to more than 100000 pilgrims, tourists and other locals trapped across

different routes and locations. The people trapped in your area of responsibility included senior citizens,

patients in hospitals, women and children, hikers, tourists, ruling party’s regional president along with

his family, additional jail. As secretary State and prisoners in jail.

As a civil services officer of the State, what would be the order in which you would rescue these people

and why? Give justifications. 20

You are heading a district administration in a particular department. Your senior officer calls you from

the State Headquarters and tells you that a plot in Rampur village is to have a building constructed on it

for a school. A visit is scheduled during which he will visit the site along with the chief engineer and the

senior architect. He wants you to check out all the papers relating to it and to ensure that the visit is

properly arranged. You examine the file which relates to the period before you joined the department.

The land was acquired from the local Panchayat at a nominal cost and the papers show that clearance

certificates are available from the two of the three authorities who have to certify the site’s suitability.

There is no certification by the architect available on file. You decide to visit Rampur to ensure that all

is in order as stated on file. When you visit Rampur, you find that the plot under reference is part of

Thakurgarh Fort and that the walls, ramparts, etc., are running across it. The fort is well away from the

main village, therefore a school here will be a serious inconvenience for the children. However, the area

near the village has potential to expand into a larger residential area. The development charges on the

existing plot, at the fort, will be very high and the question of heritage site has not been addressed.

Moreover, the Sarpanch, at the time of acquisition of the land, was a relative of your predecessor. The

whole transaction appears to have been done with some vested interest.


10

(a) List the likely vested interests of the concerned parties.

(b) Some of the options for action available to you are listed below. Discuss the merits and demerits of each of the options :

(i) You can await the visit of the superior officer and let him take a decision.

(ii) You can seek his advice in writing or on phone.

(iii) You can consult your predecessor/colleagues, etc., and then decide what to do.

(iv) You can find out if any alternate plot can be got in exchange and then send a comprehensive written report. Can you suggest any other option with proper justification? (250 words) 25

You are recently posted as district development officer of a district. Shortly thereafter you found that

there is considerable tension in the rural areas of your district on the issue of sending girls to schools.

The elders of the village feel that many problems have come up because girls are being educated and

they are stepping out of the safe environment of the household. They are of the view that the girls should

be quickly married off with minimum education. The girls are also competing for jobs after education,

which have traditionally remained in boys’ exclusive domain, adding to unemployment amongst male

population.

The younger generation feels that in the present era, girls should have equal opportunities for education

and employment, and other means of livelihood. The entire locality is divided between the elders and the

younger lot and further sub-divided between sexes in both generations. You come to know that in

Panchayat or in other local bodies or even in busy crossroads, the issue is being acrimoniously debated.

One day you are informed that an unpleasant incident has taken place. Some girls were molested, when

they were en route to schools. The incident led to clashes between several groups and a law and order

problem has arisen. The elders after heated discussion have taken a joint decision not to allow girls to go

to school and to socially boycott all such families, which do not follow their dictate.

(a) What steps would you take to ensure girls’ safety without disrupting their

education? (b) How would you manage and mould matriarchic attitude of the village elders to

ensure harmony in the inter-generational relations? (250 words) 25
